Angry Heather won't be gagged as she bids to rebuild her image

Heather Mills made a raging phone call to Sir Paul McCartney after a High Court judgment labelled her a fantasist.

She told the Beatle he would "not get away with" having her ridiculed when the full embarrassing details of their divorce settlement were made public on Tuesday, the Daily Mail understands.

It seems the former glamour model is already making moves to get her story out there, regardless of warnings by Mr Justice Bennett, the judge in her divorce case, that she must remain silent or risk imprisonment.

Yesterday, Miss Mills, her Los Angeles-based publicist, and newly appointed American lawyer, Gloria Allred, set about engineering a media assault to rehabilitate her image, starting in the U.S.

Miss Mills, 40, has told friends she has been deluged by offers from American TV, where she recently appeared in Dancing With The Stars.

She is being courted by three U.S. TV shows, a range of glossy magazines and a book publisher.

Yesterday, it was reported on American television that she had already landed a role as a judge in the Miss U.S.A. beauty pageant, which is scheduled to take place in Las Vegas on April 11.

On Tuesday, Mr Justice Bennett's judgment on the financial settlement between Miss Mills and 65-year-old Sir Paul was revealed after she failed to prevent it being made public.

In the judgment, she was labelled a "fantasist" who "indulged in blatant make-believe".

The judge added that her evidence to him was "not just inconsistent but also less than candid".

Miss Mills had asked for £125million but was awarded £24.3million.

Other media offers have apparently also been made to Miss Mills.

A source said: "Heather's in conversation with Larry King to guest-present. Oprah Winfrey wants her on to talk about being in the eye of a media storm. She has been asked by NBC to do a documentary about her life and her charity work.

"All these shows of course want is the juice on the marriage - but they are pitching towards Heather's sensibilities.

"She has been offered £1million from the American version of OK! magazine to do a sit down chat - an 'At Home With Heather' piece.

"She is also in talks with a publisher with a view to immediately updating her biography for re-release with a carefully legalled version of her years with McCartney.

"That will be a short chapter, obviously. But of course, she will be able to bring in what came out in the settlement as long as she does not stray too far from the script."

The source added: "Perhaps she is being rather deluded in thinking that they all want her because she is an A-list star. The divorce is all anyone wants her to talk about."

Another source close to Miss Mills talked, often in cryptic terms, about other ways the "real story" about the marriage might be made public.

The source went on: "There is always a way to get information out. It doesn't have to be such a blatant impassioned breach of the order like what happened on the steps of the court this week.

"Heather feels she's been emotionally raped by the whole experience. And she wants Paul to pay. Let's not forget she has claimed to have hours of taped evidence which - she says - shows Paul as an abusive husband who drank and did drugs."

A report appeared in the New York Post newspaper yesterday suggesting that Miss Mills had been trying to hawk herself for interview to British and U.S. TV networks.
